Try Cleaves Equipment in Needham.

Alternatively, you could buy an aftermarket tach at an auto parts store.

Erik,
I called Marbork of NE and They wanted $160.00. I will try to find one that fits my machine before I buy one at an Auto Parts store. I will call the place you mentioned today.
I started to work today...but got rained out!!
Thanks,
joe

I am also looking for tach for Morbark but mind has Cummins Diesel 4B3.9 We have a local dealer but rather buy elswhere. Someday I,m going to checlk NAPA. Let me know if you find an aftermarket one.

Now that i think of it, I wonder how well an aftermarket "automotive" unit would withstand the vibration inherent of a chipper?

Good Point !! Never even thought of that. I guesss that I will have to splurge if I can't find a bone yard one.

I have been trying to find the brand of the old tach that came with machine. If I can find out, we should be able to buy from local parts store insted of Morbark save $$$$$.
